I have spent the past hour reading through testimonials and directions on your site. I started having terrible sinus pain yesterday, so much that the pain was waking me up throughout the night. I used my sinus rinse but to no avail. So I thought I may as well try the ACV. Holy moly! I heated a coffee cup full of water, added 2 TBSP of ACV and a bit of honey. Halfway through the cup (sipping... Not a bit fan of the taste of vinegar! ) I could literally FEEL the gunk in my sinuses loosening up. I cannot believe how fast this works. I read many of the testimonials on ACV/sinuses but thought it really could not work that quickly.... I admit, I was wrong! I am absolutely and undoubtedly a believer.... Off to finish the rest of my cup :)

I have suffered from sinus problems for 25 years. Cannot even take any medication for relief. Had allergy shots for 1 1/2 years. No relief. I bought 5 allegra tablets and took 2. Could not stand the side affects. Out of desperation I asked the internet and found Apple Cider Vinegar as a possible cure. I went to the store and got Apple Cider Vinegar and honey. Went home and mixed it up. I no longer feel I am going to choke and die in the morning. I am 54 and it was just getting worse. My third day and I feel great. I can breath through my nose again and have a lot more energy and sleep good at night and wake up with clear unconjested sinus's.
Also use to suffer from canker sores 45 years. The internet saved me again. After suffering with canker sores that would sap my energy and cause severe pain and loss of appetite due to the pain while eating. Well this is what has cured me toms tooth paste that is SLS free. They put detergrant in toothpaste and this aggravated any injuries to your mouth and would cause canker sores. I would get at least 15 to 25 a year. They would be tough ones and last 7 to 10 days and hurt. Lot of pain that I do not experience any more. I still get about 2 a year but I notice them and they are gone without any pain. They heal fast and I can eat without pain and they no longer bother me. They heal as fast as I notice them. I have not had 1 yet that has caused me discomfort. 3 years I have used tom's non SLS free toothpaste. just like apple cider vinager it works.

I have been having about three sinus infections each year for the past three years. I am 62 and found this very hard to take. Having just had another infection and another round of anti-biotics and anti histmine as per the doctors instruction. Two weeks later same again in desperation went online and asked for natural cures for sinus.
Thanks to God I was put onto this website could not belive a simple cure would work?Went to local store and purchace the apple cider vinegar, basic filtered stuff with no emzines or organic. Anyway within three days I could breath and within one week completly cured, It was if a light was switched on all these years doctors vists chemist antibiotics anti histamine costs? Have been on the organic for three months been educted about aspartime, great site, lost eight kilos With exercise. Its as if a light had been turned on. Feel like 50 again Thank for a great website.

After attempting to literally run my sinus infection out of me, I had given up until I read about ACV. I only started this today but I am already feeling more clear headed and my headache is better. I am eager to see how I feel in 2 more days and a several more doses. Does anyone know if I can overdose on ACV?

I found your website back in May after many repeated bouts with sinus infections. I was really desperate. I had a full blown sinus infection and was headed again to the Doctor. Well, I drank the ACV with honey and I also added a drop or two to my sinus flush with salt. Well the infection in my head and chest went completely away except that I waited too long and my ears got infected and I had to get antibiotics anyway.
Since then I've had multiple sinus infections and the ACV always makes my head feel better and my sinuses don't clamp up like normal making the infection worse. I wouldn't say ACV is a cure but I would say it's a great preventative and I recommend it to everyone. I carry it now while traveling and use a drop or two in my sinus rinse while in Hotels. I don't do this everyday but maybe once a week. If I have an infection I go to once per day. I have also combined this with the over the counter straight Mucinex and with both of these my head it back to normal for a month or so until I go outside and rake leaves or walk through the woods. Then I clamp up unless I use this ACV. Thanks very very much.

Last evening I couldn't stand it any longer so I made a visit to the local "on call doc in the box. "
I was diagnosed with a sinus infection and given the ________. On my way home from the pharmacy, I stopped to visit a friend. He made me the "miracle tea" which included ACV and honey. This morning I woke up without a sore throat. I was skeptical last night, but now I know it honestly works! ! Thank you for this website.

Apple Cider Vinegar & Sinus Infections
I am cured! I've been using the ACV remedy for about 3 or 4 days. Posted initially and didn't realize I was using the wrong ACV. Used organic, unfiltered but didn't know it has to be unpasteurized also until today. I'm going to pick up B----'s to have on hand. Even so, I can't believe how quickly the wrong ACV worked! Over the course of 25 years, I took antibiotics 3-5 times a year. I took OTC anti-inflammatories, sudafed, guaifenesin before and after it went OTC, steroidal nasal sprays, and prescription decongestants. All this time, all I needed was the ACV remedy!
I'd just finished a 10-day course of antibiotics about 6 or 7 weeks ago when I came down with another infection 4 or 5 days ago. I thought I'd have to consider surgery finally, when I came across your site. As I wrote in my prior post, I started drinking 2 tbsp organic, unfiltered ACV in 10 oz water w/1 tsp raw honey. On day two, I made it w/8 oz. water and 2 tsp raw honey. I drank it twice daily. 3 or 4 days later, I feel 100%. I've told all my friends and co-workers about the ACV remedy, so now I'll be sure to tell them to get the right ACV. Thank you EC!

I've had a sinus infection for 2 weeks -super painful. I didn't know what to do.I saw on your site about ACV did your suggested measurements of 2 tablespoons acv with 8 oz warm water 3x a day for 24hrs. Almost to the hour I was breathing really clearly and my sence of smell was coming back! I am so excited about this. Thank you so much for posting this suggestion :)

I've been miserable for 5 days now...got hit with a cold and a sinus infection. I haven't taken any medication or treatment for my constant allergies etc in over 10 years. I just learned to deal with it. This time...after the pressure was so bad both ears felt like I was wearing cheap earplugs and could not sleep more than an hour at a time in a recliner...I bought a couple packages of Tylenol severe cold pills the next morning. No effect at all. Steam treatments would give slight relief as far as my stuffy nose, but nothing for any other symptoms. I finally wandered on the web and thank God for ACV and everyone's posts. In an hour and a half my right ear popped and I had real relief for the first time in nearly a week.

For maxillary sinus infections, try garlic capsules.

I am a 20 year sufferer of reflux induced sinusitis, although the problem was just diagnosed 2 years ago. I take Nexium 2x a day plus Pepcid,which controls all of the reflux symptoms EXCEPT the sinus issues. I am struggling with 3 infections in 5 weeks. I just tried the ACV for the first time and will keep doing it since so many of you sing its praises. My question: has anyone out there found that the ACV exacerbates reflux problems? I'm wondering about putting acid in my stomach which obviously is so sensitive. I was thinking of going to my GI doc and suggesting surgery to repair the reflux (long recovery) but am hoping that the ACV will take care of it without making the reflux worse. Your feedback would be welcome.

I used to be sick all the time--I would get 4-6 sinus infections per year. I do drink Apple Cider Vinegar occasionally, I know it helps. But I also started taking a Probiotic everyday and eating a yogurt everyday is also very beneficial. I feel that what we eat is paramount to good health. I'm going to resume taking ACV with some honey (kills bacteria). Honey is good for skin infections, too.

Cindi, I too had chronic sinus problems for years. ACV is a great help, I ingest it daily, but I suggest you look at the section on
Borax. I came to the conclusion that the problem was basically caused by systemic candida. Yes the ACV will help this, but don't discount other possible remedies.

I have had sinus infections for the last 2 years; my ears were always clogged. The sinus infection would come and go. I began taking 2 Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar at night and in the mornings, it appears my sinuses have cleared up.

I have had sinus infections since I first became pregnant at the age of 22 (I'm now 36) I have tried EVERYTHING you can possibly think of...antibiotics, STRONGER antibiotics, saline sprays,steam, CAT scans just to be on the safe side....outside of physically banging my head off the walls, I have tried it all. I was at the point where, and not really wanting to do this,I was going to talk to a dr. about having an operation for it. So thinking this is my last chance before I do something drastic I came across this site. Let me tell you....I feel wonderful. I did the ACV all day yesterday and this is the first morning, in a very LONG time, that I did NOT wake up with a massive headache. I can absolutely feel something is working in there.I feel like I may be able to function today. BUT the only problem I am having is that the ACV is giving me horrible gas and I am running to the bathroom within 30 mins of drinking it. Am I doing something wrong? I am only using 1/4 cup ACV and a full glass of water. I haven't seen anyone else write of this problem so just thought maybe I'm not doing it right, not eating enough or doing it too often....Any info on this is appreciated.
My next venture is taking the Black Strap Molassas. I hear THAT does wonderful things too.

I woke up with yet another dreaded sinus infection, my third in 3 months. I quickly went online, and came upon this site. Skeptical, but desperate, I went out to the kitchen, drank some commercial ACV, and went back to bed. By the end of the day, my fever broke, and I slept through the night. The next morning, I was feeling 90% better. I went to my local Mrs. Greens health food store and bought organic ACV w/ the "mother", and continued to drink ACV cocktails that day. By the middle of the day I was back outside walking and enjoying the day. In 1 day- I went from feling ill, sore throat, achy and all- to feeling fine! Amazing! Normally my infections linger for 3-6 days, and knock me off my feet. I normally have a stuffy nose which lasts for days so that I cant breathe well or taste food. Again- I am amazed! I was skeptical- but am now a believer and a ACV fan! - As is my husband. I will continue to use it daily, and hope that I won't have to suffer from any more sinus infections! Thank you

I am so glad I found your site. I am on my second glass of ACV this morning for what looked like was going to be a nasty sinus infection after a severe allergy attack. The last sinus infection I had was two years ago -- ended up on antibiotics. I am now pregnant and absolutley did not want to go that route. I googled natural remedy for sinus infection as soon as I realized what was happening. Drank my first mixture of ACV yesterday - my fever broke overnight and I felt some relief. Now on my second glass of the day and am feeling so much relief. I actually am liking the taste now, maybe because I can tell how well its working. Thanks!
